Bar Benfiddich – Tokyo

Hiroyasu Kayama’s charming and classic Bar Benfiddich resembles an old pharmacy thanks to numerous herbal infusions and ferments so unusual that they line the shelves.

Dressed in a classic white jacket, the bartender can often be found grinding roots, herbs, and other spices grown on his family’s land, adding a point of complexity and pure mixology to especially gin and whiskey-based aromatic cocktails.

They also ferment home-made liqueurs, the bar is well known for making its own version of Campari bitter liquor.

Bar Benfiddich has no menu, but Kayama’s imaginations are limitless without a doubt.
